Cliffy

An excellent Australian film (more of this type of film please)! What a great cast of actors and brilliant performance by Kevin Harrington who really got Ciffy down pat - especially the shuffle. I remember the day Cliffy came down Doncaster Road, Doncaster, Victoria as I was working in the area at the time and went to see him go by with everyone cheering him. I will never forget it! Thankyou ABC for showing this film as it would have been ruined by the constant ads on commercial TV..

MORE ABOUT THE GREAT JOE RECORD

The Joe Record Story really needs to be told. He was one of the greatest Ultra-Marathon Runners of the Century and perhaps one of the most colourful characters in sport. He ran the race in reverse the following year in protest . A six day Running champion 900+km in six days on 200 meter indoor track

Australian Legend

Great film, very happy to have been a part of it, if only an extra. Told in a wonderful way and acted extraordinarily! Characters were fantastic and the development was astonishing. Much justice done to the tale of one amazing potato farmer.

Onya Cliffy!

A fantastic movie about the Ausssie underdog. Cliffy re-tells the true story of 61 year old marathon runner Clff Young in a warm and engaging style. A terrifc Australian cast rounds out a fabulous story with Kevin Harrington (The Dish, Seachange, Underbelly) as Cliffy. I fully recommend this movie.

The Battler Wins

A must see non-stop film displaying core Australian elements, continuously rolling out, from 'Go to Woe'. We need more humbling experiences such as "Cliffy" in our Australian society. Thanks Neil.

Well done Nigel & Dean

I was only five when Cliff Young ran the marathon, but you have done a terrific job retelling the story, capturing great personalities and wonderful country spirit and humour.
My 8year old son Benjamin was the cute little boy running with 'Cliffy' through Albury.
WELL DONE on a great production!
